After Hongtao left, Shi'an also opened his eyes and said to Qingyu: "I also have plans in the near future and want to recruit a few disciples."
Now, except for Qingyu's appearance, which is too small, he is the only one who does not have a disciple. For practitioners like them, accepting disciples is as cautious and important as raising a child.
Seeing that all the senior brothers and sisters have their own disciples, Shi An is also very envious. Recently, he often thinks of his disciples in Xuanmen. Every day, he calls him "master" and "master", which is quite heartwarming.
Qingyu naturally knew what his senior brother was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Senior brother and I will have a fortune telling."
Then he took out six copper coins and started the hexagram.
"Tian Fengjie, Ku, Yu Ye. Senior brother, I met someone recently, and this person is quite destined for you."
Shi'an looked happy and asked, "Then where can I find him?"
Qingyu smiled and said, "Where you come from, you go there." After a pause, he added: "But this guy... is untamed. Senior brother will have to work hard to tame him. Senior brother
You can go out at the end of the twenty-nine and find him."
These words made Shi'an a little curious, so he closed his eyes slightly and continued to practice.
...
After nightfall, everyone who had gone out returned. Then Hongtao led the family to a nearby noodle shop.
While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Ye Qiu first talked about the situation of Juxianzhai. It has been eight days since it opened.
"The number of guests today is about the same as in the past. There are 447 tables in total, and the total revenue is more than 1,072 taels. In addition, there are 72 guests who came to make reservations today."
Hongtao exclaimed: "Why are there fewer people every day? Wasn't there one or two hundred people every day before?"
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, "That's the problem: there are too many people queuing up in front, and the appointment has already been scheduled for the ninth day of next month. Many guests are upset because of this and feel that they have waited too long."
Xu Lan rubbed her sore wrist, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Our kitchen is very busy every day. Medicinal meals are more time-consuming, and now it's a bit too much. Miss Third, do you want to recruit more people for the kitchen?"
Qingyu looked at Ye Qiu and Hong Tao who were struggling, and smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, this is only temporary. After this period of time, it will gradually stabilize."
Now it's because it's so popular that countless people want to try something new. As time goes by, everyone's enthusiasm gradually fades away, or they have already tasted it. In short, they won't all rush in to book it again.
Then he said to Xu Lan: "In addition, I also have a plan. When Juxian Zhai stabilizes, I will pick up five master spoons from here and open five Juxian Zhai. So Sister Lan can focus on looking for five people in the future."
Xu Lan was a little surprised, but she still nodded and said hello.
"It won't be now, at least it will have to wait until next year. We will see the situation next year. If the situation is good, then we will make sure." Qingyu said again.
Shi'an continued: "I will be in charge of the crossbow field." Now he is the only one who is relatively free.
"What is the crossbow field like? How is it?" Wen Ya asked curiously.
Hongtao nodded and said, "It's very good. It's worthy of being a crossbow field. The foundation is very solid and the venue is big enough."
After talking, the store owner brought a few bowls of noodles to the table. A few people stopped talking, finished eating the noodles, and went home.
...
Two days later, Shi'an followed Qingyu's instructions and went out at the end of the day, but ended up at the fortune-telling street.
This is where he started in Yinzhou, and it is exactly where Qingyu said he came from.
The fortune-telling street is still the same as usual. Even though it is late autumn, the sun is still scorching in the afternoon and few people come. The fortune-tellers are sleeping on the table, chatting with other people, or reading alone.
As a result of the small number of people, Shi'an attracted the attention of many people as soon as he stepped into this place.
When Shi'an was in the fortune-telling street, there were many people who were jealous, jealous or envious, so there was no one in this street who didn't know him.
Later, when the reputation of Shi'an Divine Fortune spread, these fortune tellers felt at ease. Compared with the strong opponents close at hand, they were more relieved by such people who were far away.
But why do people who live far away suddenly come to this small shabby alley today?
So, those who were reading put down their books, those who were chatting stopped talking, those who were sleeping were shaken awake, and everyone in the alley turned their attention to Shi'an.
The fortune teller sitting outside said hello with a dry smile, "Master Shi'an, you are now a famous figure in Yinzhou, what kind of wind has brought you here."
Shi'an heard the sound and asked, "Have you heard anything strange recently?"
Weird things? The person sitting at the front said: "That's a lot. There are all kinds of weird things. Which one do you want to hear?"
Shi'an thought for a while and then changed his words, "Is there anything strange happening with me and fortune-telling?"
Is it related to you? Haha... All the officials in Yinzhou are queuing up to wait for your fortune telling. I even heard that some people spend thousands of gold to have their fortunes told. Is this a strange thing?
The speaker was cursing in his heart, but he was shaking his head in confusion: "I have never heard of anything strange."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person continued: "I heard something, which is quite strange. It is said that Master Shi'an only tells fortunes once a month and only in official houses. Is that true?"
Shi'an nodded and said: "Exactly."
The person who spoke was even more strange, "That's strange. I also heard that Master Shi'an tells people's fortunes among the people, and there is no rule of telling fortunes only once a month."
"Oh? Where did you hear this?" Without waiting for Shi'an to be confused, the person sitting outside asked curiously?
"I heard someone say it by chance a few days ago.
That day, a lady came to me to tell my fortune, but she was persuaded to leave by another acquaintance on the way. I heard the person who persuaded her said: "Master Shi'an is very effective," and then the two of them left in a hurry. I
I'm still wondering, isn't Master Shi'an only counted once a month?"
Shi An already knew in his heart that someone might have impersonated him to deceive some who didn't know.
"Did they mention where it was?" Shi'an asked again.
The person who spoke shook his head, "No, I just said that sentence. I just guessed it. It may not be true."
Shi'an thought about it for a while, and estimated that the fake person was also very good at hiding, and he might have warned others not to make it public.
In this vast sea of people trying to find someone pretending to be him, Shi'an was a little embarrassed.
But then I thought again, the head junior sister had said that the person was destined to meet him, so he said goodbye to the fortune tellers in the alley, then walked out of the alley, and came to the street to see with his fortune-telling eyes.
He keeps track of the fortunes of passers-by on the street. If he encounters someone with a bad fortune, he goes up to ask.
But fate is very mysterious. Shi'an caught random people on the street and asked a few, and he actually found out some clues.
In a place called Lingzhui Lane, two streets away from Jiuquli, there lived a master named Shi'an.
